Back to posting some no wave. Mars is another one of those no wave bands who never actually properly released anything major, in this case just an EP, and we'd need some compilation later on to actually be able to have something to listen to. Even though we love these studio recordings, most no wave bands considered themselves to be live bands, which is possibly why they never really released much studio material, or maybe it's because the capitalist interest in no wave was ZERO, and I guess it's far too late to experience them in their full live glory. This is as close as we get. From parts similar to that of DNA's noise rock to a more purely post-punk sound and even sometimes as far as some weird soundscapes.

DEAD LINK?Have a look in this post. If it's not there feel free to request a reupload and I'll try to get on it as soon as possible.

Just a few thing's I'd like to make clear. I don't use the experimental tag/label on my posts because I'd end up tagging 9 out of 10 posts with it anyway. "Experimental" is not a genre of music, it is a way to approach creativity. Neither is "drone" really a genre of music, but I use that anyway, sue me.

FLAC is a lossless audio format and encoder. During compression, FLAC does not lose quality from the audio stream.

V0, aka APX (Alt Preset eXtreme) is a LAME variable bitrate setting with an aimed average bitrate at 250kbps. Today LAME is widely recognized as the best lossy format (mp3) audio encoder at mid-high bitrates.
